5. The Nature of YouTube Video
Kukuh Prakoso 2009: p.vii in his book entitled “Lebih Kreative dengan
YouTube” says as follows: Jika anda berpikir bahwa YouTube sebagai tempat nongkrong anak-anak
remaja „baru gede‟, maka pernyataan ini tidak sepenuhnya tepat. YouTube menyediakan ruang komunitas. Apapun Video yang anda cari, akan Anda
temukan di YouTube. YouTube juga dikenal dengan Tube, sedangkan para penggunanya biasa disebut sebagai Tubers.
Therefore, Dominikus Juju 2009: p.v defines “YouTube sebagai situs
berbagi video yang sangat popular saat ini, hampir setiap menit akan muncul video baru yang di-
upload oleh penggunanya.” This statement is strengthen by Miko Pardosi 2009: p.1
that “YouTube adalah sebuah Website penyedia Video gratis. Dengan YouTube, anda dapat mencari video sesuai dengan keinginan
andadan menontonnya di layar computer anda seperti menonton video biasa.”
YouTube can be activated easily using Internet Explorer by typing
www.youtube.com and pushing Enter. A moment later, the first page of YouTube
will appear. YouTube ’s screen can be divided into four parts according to the
purpose. The first part, the top of screen, contains title, main menu, and basic
programs. The title is YouTube Broadcast Yourself.
The basic programs in the top right corner, consists of five choices, they are: Sign Up, Quick list, Help, Log In, and Site. The main menu is under title, in
the gray crossbar. There are four choices, they are: Home, Video, Channels, and Community. Every ch
oice has its’ duty. Home is the principal screen.

The second part is in lower ends of screen. This part is the closing. This part function to present general information about YouTube, likes other
application, additional services and authority. The third and fourth parts are in the middle of the screen. The third is in
the left side while the fourth is in the right one. The third part functions to present video and comments also other reactions. However the fourth part is used to
perform information related to the active video, for instance: source and other related choices.
Andika Handayanto 2009: p.3 says that YouTube can be used to find a certain video and present it in the screen. Video can be found based on the video’s
name or title. Video processed by YouTube can be colourful and completed with audio. This condition will make the browser interesting to that video.
